Cohen's Plea: Madonna, Let's End Our Beef!
1 Feb
Summary
- Andy Cohen hopes Madonna will appear on Watch What Happens Live.
- Past criticisms on the show created past differences between them.
- Madonna playfully called Cohen a 'troublemaking queen' in 2023.
Andy Cohen continues to extend an olive branch to global music icon Madonna, expressing his enduring hope that she will one day grace the Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) Clubhouse. After 16 seasons and a contract renewal for WWHL, Cohen revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he "holds out hope" for a booking.
The long-standing impasse, Cohen explained, stems from various guests making critical remarks about Madonna on his show, leading to her labeling him a "troublemaking queen" in 2023. He believes Madonna sees him as "guilty by association" due to these past on-air comments.
Despite their history, Cohen maintains an optimistic outlook, citing Madonna's playful reaction after the "troublemaking queen" comment—she playfully gave him the middle finger at one of her concerts. He even shared a compilation reel of his positive remarks about her on WWHL to producers, signaling his goodwill.
Cohen highlighted past guests like Oprah Winfrey and Meryl Streep as evidence of WWHL's significant pull, suggesting that Madonna's appearance is a matter of time rather than possibility. He acknowledges both their busy schedules but remains committed to fostering a reconciliation.
